Patriots' Jam Miller: Headed to New England

The Patriots selected Miller in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 245th overall.

Analysis:

Miller spent his entire four-year college career at Alabama, taking over a regular role on offense in 2024, resulting in 15 starts over the last two seasons. He possesses the size to handle the rigors of an NFL campaign at 5-foot-10, 209 pounds and does a good job with ball security (two fumbles in his college career) and falling forward on runs. On top of that, he put up an impressive 4.42 40-time at the NFL Combine. That said, he doesn't typically play as fast as his time and can struggle in pass blocking, hence his seventh-round selection. Miller will be tasked with etching out a role somewhere on the depth chart behind the two players locked in atop the running back room in Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.
